Official Discussion: Soccer Event part 2

[meplay]

I do not like this event. I do not like run on events. I mean after all it cleans your barn and supplies out. and it does not give you time to replenish your inventory. and then the fact that there is just to much going on in this timed event. there just is not enough space on our farms to grow everything and it be a timed EVENT a timed quest is one thing you can do it on your own time. but with an event your on the games time. because you are actually times in two ways. in event timer itself (counting down the hours of the event) and then the quest timer (timing you on getting done) I will not be doing the part two of this event. I have to much going on right now Im a stay at home wife and mother but with this event being timed i just dont have the time to do it. there are chores to be done and family to be tended to i just feel like this part of the event is a time consuming in front of the computer all day type of event.

That was fun! I had to think and plan it out, which is what I miss the most being so high level. Great combination of different timed crops, animals and some crops that do not grow on Bahamara. I have not been this engaged for a long time!

I'm also glad that a more strategic event was offered. It's a great addition that I feel teaches the newer farmers and younger players how to utilize what they have as well as decide what they can sell to purchase products from the crafting trade if they want to finish faster.

The event was a nice way to ease players into something different. I really enjoyed it.

I must agree that I do not care for the timed challenges and the rewards are disappointing. Sorry but this is not as fun as I have found others to be. Thanks for trying.

This part 2 might have been better for an event during the winter months when people are frozen in their houses.
I have a better idea about doing something like this.... BP this could have been something that was restricted to just a weekend like Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Having this type of event during the week when everyone has a RL does not make it a really doable event. I am a disabled Vet and am home most of the time but I still have a RL with other things to do.

To the Farmerama staff I know I like the majority of the things done but this one (part 2) could of had maybe the last part of each level timed and the rest from our barn. Or how about allowing part of it from our barn (70%) of the crops we could have contributed but the last part (30%) we would have to contribute directly from the field.

Great game, just bad timing for this type of "timed" event.
I am happy with the soccer event but not this part 2

Like a lot of the other posters, I give kudos for the attempt to give us something different in an event. However, 15 timed quests in the middle of the week is a bit much!! Add to that the fact that the rewards were not that great and you'll find that a lot of players didn't bother participating. I do believe that the timed quests are a good idea, just not so many and they should be mixed in with donation quests. Offering better rewards and a sticker/ep or cc giver would be a big plus as well!!

I am working my way thru the silver levels and will try to get thru the gold, but doubt I will make it to the diamond due to the RL constraints.

A worthy - if TOTALLY unsuccessful idea from BP.

The biggest disappointment of the year, this football part 2!
Let's hope next year they resort to the tried and tested formula!

ALL quests timed?? Impossible! It could only work as an 'optional extra' in future.

PLEASE listen, BP...

[quote=SuzeeRabbit;2724314]My main objections have already been made by others. ALL 15 challenges being timed is nearly impossible for anyone that has RL commitments. ...Also seems the prizes could be better. "

Totally agree. For the amount of effort and PJ, th awards are very unimressive. Also, If I had understood that all the quests would be timed, I'd just ski the whole thing. Won't bother finishing this level.

I am not a fan of this Event as the rewards are not that great for the effort required plus haven't got the time due to work and real life commitments as i use harvest time app on the iphone during normal events to help complete them but i can't use it for this to much moving and change things around. plus the app only has 2 fields on it.

I understand they are trying to make events different but a whole event with timed challenges is just to much, maybe one or two timed challenges in an event but not all!!!

I also am not liking the timed event, as you have to keep sitting at the computer for ages just to make sure that you harvest all the requried crops on time. I have also noticed some people saying they want timed events for winter, and weekends. It is winter where I'm from and I don't stay inside 24/7. Also the weekend thing doesn't always work as I'm 12hours ahead and have events starting on all the wrong days and 2am /4am starts.
If BP is going to put timed quests in events, Just one or two at the lower levels would be more manageable.
I feel sorry for the ones that are working/school and trying to do this one level at a time. I'm using CAC as I got it from the wheel spin compo pack and using 1x1 plots to get this done and doing 2 parts at a time, other wise I don't think I would have tried. I hate time quests anyway.
